Cultural Roots of Sustainable Management: Practical Wisdom and Corporate Social Responsibility

This
book provides a multidisciplinary approach to Corporate Social Responsibility.
While for decades a purely mathematical-technical orientation dominated the
business curriculum, this book presents CSR and sustainability as a business
concept embedded in its cultural and spiritual context. It initially approaches
practical wisdom from different cultural and religious traditions as a source of
spiritual capital for sustainable business practices. Subsequently, it links
current CSR concepts and the latest thinking in CSR with long-standing cultural
and spiritual knowledge, promoting a more comprehensive view on sustainability
management and its implementation at business enterprises. The book collects
and unites viewpoints from various cultural and religious contexts, offering a
comprehensive guide for international and globally active companies.
